UNSPSC 85663700: Tendons-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the upper extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0L.

UNSPSC 85663700 Tendons-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B is a Class code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal medical device or procedure scope. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement practice in the recent opportunities block, which features medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure networks — none of which involve tendon repair devices or endoscopic instrumentation. State and local agencies are issuing these solicitations, but they are purchasing medical services delivery, administrative health plan management, and clinical staffing rather than the implantable medical devices or procedural instruments the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states without concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is requesting independent medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 (RFP RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach (California) is seeking surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence management through an RFP due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP RFP20260825); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity that aligns cleanly with tendon repair or endoscopic procedural procurement, suggesting either mistagging in state or local procurement systems or that this code does not represent an active purchasing category within state and local government contracting right now.
